Oyado Koto no Yume is a great place to stay. It's of a high standard (but not super-luxury), with good rooms (we had a traditional one with tatami floor and futon for one night, and a more western one for two nights), and a lovely onsen. The location is good, being close to the station and a short walk to anywhere else in town. Above all, the staff are exceptional in every way. The welcome and check-in were first class: helpful, informative and charming; and any other needs or requests we had during our stay, e.g., for information or a restaurant reservation, were met extremely well. We were very pleased we chose it and, although it's the only hotel/ryokan in which we've stayed in Takayama, I can't belive there's a better one.
